We Hate Spam!

We have recently instituted a system of spam control that helps keep the McHenry County Blog a lean, mean information machine. A side product of this process is that in certain cases you might be blocked or challenged to prove that you aren't a robot in order to comment on articles.

If for some reason the automated processes that are in place to prove that you are a human do not work, or if you have any other technical problems with the blog, please email techguy at any time for speedy resolution.

If you are a Republican candidate for office and can't see your sign in this photo, you might want to take your sign over to Crystal Lake's Republican Headquarters. (Not that there is much sidewalk traffic.) Five of the eleven signs are for candidates not on the McHenry County ballot this year. Can you name them?

I found people getting ready to go door-to-door with a door knob hanger featuring State Senate candidate Karen McConnaughay and County Board Chairman Ken Koehler.

The mini-rally was over and door-to-door assignments were being made when I walked in the door.

There were mainly members of the McHenry County Young Republicans.

They had been recruited to blitz precincts for State Senate candidate Karen McConnaughay and Ken Koehler, who is running for re-election to the McHenry County Board.

The goal is to cover the 25 overlapping precincts, mainly in Crystal Lake and Lake in the Hills with the campaign piece you see below:

Paid for by the Karen McConnaughay campaign for State Senate, this side of the joint door knob hanger mainly promotes McConnauhay--a winning team...that have improved the quality of life.

Same theme on the Ken Koehler side of the door-to-door piece...promoting "fiscal accountability, cooperation and respnosible governance."

McConnaughay, having given a pep talk, off to a similar gathering in Huntley.

You and the people that love McHenry County are right not to support Karen McConnaughay. She is the ultimate insider having little interest in doing anything but feathering the nest of her political pals.

Word is she has no interest in remaining in the Senate seat. She is moving on and using McHenry’s lack of knowledge about her as a springboard to higher office.

Paul, if you have any influence (and we are sure you do) take the rest of the time left and let everyone you know begin to work with her opponent.

Looking at he Door Hanger, I’m picturing behind that phoney, stiff smile, one of those all metal “Robotic” creatures who are ‘programmed’ to say anything, then, taken back into the ‘shop’ and re-programmed again for the next issue.

Cal’s posting of her desire to “Bash” others is compelling.

Don’t let that “Barbie Doll” appearance fool you voters! She has shown her [email protected]$ and claws and her “Gang” mentality!
